I made a commitment recently to drop to 14% bodyfat by end of June 2017. How far will I get if I only eat one fajita bowl a day? I've done a bunch of different experiments in the past on food. So far the most awesome impact diet I've done is just kill all processed sugar and flour intake for 5 months. I felt amazing clarity and sustainable energy while fully committed, not even diet soft drinks or ketchup.

Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely. V...
